North Korea is currently struggling with flooding. Military helicopters have brought thousands of people to safety. Leader Kim Jong-un now boasts that he ‘personally led’ a rescue operation. He shook hands with all the pilots.
The city of Sinyinju and Yiju County are among those affected by the floods. According to North Korean media reports, more than 5,000 people have been cut off from the outside world. Helicopters from the Korean People’s Army Air Force and Navy rescue ships were deployed to evacuate the particularly affected residents.
Here you can see the message from Nexta.
In the midst of the storm, ruler Kim portrayed himself as a hard-working savior. He accompanied a military mission and shook hands with all the pilots. Nexta reported on Platform X that the dictator personally supervised the evacuation of people. He met some of them at the airport.
User: Dictator probably exhausted
The post was accompanied by a number of photos. They show Kim in a car in the water and sitting next to a military plane. One X user sarcastically noted that he was probably exhausted from saving people. Others said that the dictator’s face made the situation worse for the affected population, or that he should take a kayak.
According to state news agency KCNA, Kim accused officials of failing to prepare for the country’s recent rains. In July, the city of Kaesong saw record rainfall with 463 millimeters (18.1 inches) of rain in a single day. In addition, North Korea’s infrastructure has been weakened and deforestation has made the country vulnerable to flooding.
